I don't see how you can possibly be running a Windows 11 guest using a Windows NT template. The hardware requirements are entirely different. Use the Win10 template until a Win11 one becomes available (in due course).

It will not work well with 1 CPU core either. Windows wants 2 cores.

And why only 18MB of graphics RAM? Increase to 128MB.

I'm not convinced that AC'97 is the best audio decision either. Use Intel HD audio.
